Bullet, Box2D and PhysX all highly recommend using a fixed timestep, and no, you should definitely be using requestAnimationFrame with a fixed timestep, just like in the fix-your-timestep article. The number of frames to advance the simul

Typically physics engines can't be "modulated by the delta" (which I assume means varying the dt when integrating), you just have to tick the physics world multiple times and keep the roundoff for next time. [0] gives a goo

But what activity does this act prohibit, that isn't "protected by the First Amendment"?

That is only true if you write your own physics. Otherwise, your physics framerate should be fixed, usually at 30FPS. Many physics engines don't support variable timestep, and in the ones that do, it can lead to instability and general

.DS_Store contains the positions of file icons, the last view mode (list, icons, etc.), and other stuff for Finder. You can avoid creating it by not using Finder, and you can probably also avoid it if you carefully avoid not dragging icons

There are browsers for Android that have ad-blockers (e.g. Firefox for Android). You can use Twitter's mobile website in one of these browsers.

Kebab-case is, in my opinion, the most beautiful of identifier cases, but how would you get around the ambiguity with subtraction, short of going full Lisp or adding whitespace sensitivity?

slice::from_raw_parts_mut makes it trivial to reinterpret some bytes as a struct. Beware, though, that Rust doesn't have a stable ABI as C does, and can reorder fields and do other magic freely. What you're doing is already incred

I searched "e foundation" on Google, DuckDuckGo and Bing and this was the first result on all of them. Yeah, "/e/" is atrocious, though.

I agree - passive smoking poses a much bigger and more direct threat to our health than Facebook, obviously - but Facebook is much more insidious, since at the very least you can stay away from smokers, and at least the dangers of smoking a

As a user, I prefer consistency across platforms. I don't really want the apps I use to blend into the same gray native soup, anyway. As I see it, the only thing achieved by more consistency within an OS is a thicker garden wall, and I

Microsoft is the poster-child of abusing market power, and Amazon isn't exactly innocent on that front, either.

It shouldn't. One-based indexing is what all the research uses, so it is undeniably the better choice for Julia. But zero-based indexing isn't just a memory trick, it makes lots of math easier when you're concatenating ranges

In my opinion the benefits of declarative GUI are vastly overstated for the average web app. Given that your application is appropriately componentized, it rarely makes things much clearer.

Generally Fourier methods are asymptotically better than Karatsuba, but with much higher constants, which makes them kind-of impractical until you get very big numbers. Anyway, do competitive programmers tend to program everything from sc
